I started out without a thing to call my own

A helpless child in need of care- I could have felt so all alone

But when I opened up my eyes, what did I see?

A gentle smile that said "I'm glad you're here with me"

Remember times when I would stumble , and I'd fall?

I learned to walk, and then to run- but, looking back (as I recall)

You know there's not a pain or hurt I couldn't stand

As long as I could have you here to help me out and hold my hand

                                (CHORUS)

'Cause after everything, there's you

And you're the one who's there when things go wrong

Just like they sometimes do

A mother's love is what it takes to see me through

Things may come and go, it's true- but, after everything, there's you

Time can move you on- you leave the past behind

And make your choices, hoping time can heal old wounds- but what you find

Is that in life the things you've learned  you want to share

With someone special you can count on being there

I look each day into the face of one I love

And wonder if the family that we have raised is strong enough

But when it seems to me that it's too hard to do

I just remember all the lessons that were taught to me by you

(CHORUS)

And after everything, there's you

You showed me what to do when things go wrong- just like they sometimes do

A mother's love is what it takes to see me through

Things may come and go, it's true- but, after everything, there's you

It may be hard to lose someone you've held so dear

I know that I cannot remove the pain you feel - yet still I'm here

To share the good and bad and all that's in between

You've given me so much, I have to let you know just what I mean

(CHORUS)

That after everything, there's you

You taught me how to care when things go wrong- just like they sometimes do

I'll share with you the love you gave to help me through

Things may come and go, it's true- but, after everything, there's you

Things may come and go, it's true- but, after everything, there's you
